Lessons From A Sovereign Wealth Fund in the United States (Correct)

President Trump and others have talked about the idea of the US having a Sovereign Wealth Fund, a la the UAE or Singapore. It feels like a longshot, but as it turns out, there are actually several Sovereign Wealth Funds in the United States, one of which is the Alaska Permanent Fund. The fund was established in the 1970s to manage the state’s booming oil fortune, and ensure that the boom benefitted the residents of the state for years into the future. Today the fund manages over $80 billion, contributing a substantial portion each year to Alaska’s state budget, including an annual check paid directly to almost all residents of the state. On this episode, we speak with the fund’s CEO Deven Mitchell and CIO Marcus Frampton about how the fund operates, its relationship with the government of Alaska, and how it’s investing its money in order to fulfill its purpose long into the future. We also discuss what lessons from the APF could apply to any similar project done at a national level.
